It was nice contest with not so good propagation to NA during first night.
First NA in log is W6IZT at 01:58z . Only in the morning,almost on our sunrise,
there was a little opening, so the score on sathurday mornig was disapointment
for us (also because we knew, that our friends and cocncorents had a bit more
than us, thanks to beuty of real time GSM score checking). Only 470 Q and 250K
pts was really below expected. We blamed cndx and bad antenna (never bad
operators HI). During daytime QSO rate never dropped below 20 qso/hr. Thanks
to EU's (mostly DL's and OK's) who digged for us during impossible hours.
First JA in log was JA3YBK on sathurday at 17:47z. Others came troug only at
20:30z .First NA during second night was of course VY2ZM with exellent sig at
21:19z. After him VE2TZT and K1ZZ at 00:03z on sunday. Then, from 02:30 z to
06:39 z, when last 10 pointer N2ED was worked, we had some decent runs of NA
stations. Sunday morning our log had abt 155 NA stations in the log, and the
score was also promissing. During the day EU runs were not so good as saturday
ones, but we managed to have no holes in the hour rates with zero contacts :).
Sunday evening we had some very good openings to east, but the only multipliers
we reached were 3W3W,YE1ZAT and VR2BG. No new states but at 21:53z the W1CSM was
first new NA to call us.
A the end, 1456Q's was much more than we expected after first night. With such
modest equipment, we are really happy.
HI's:
The heavy MTP's who called us on our CQ:3A2MD,9M2AX,XU7ACY!
Response on first call: 3W3W and VR2BG (Good ears Brett)
Low's:
BA4RF calling in "our face" for abt 2 minutes without hearing me and W3DQ,
which we called for 10 min but all we got was another Erics CQ, so DC is not in
our log.
The final statistic shows:
EU 84%
NA 11%
AS 4%
All others:1%
Thanks to all who made the qso with us and our apologize to not-heard ones.
